Josie the Buffalo Goat

Recently at Earthfire’s Digital Storytelling Workshop, we were asked to create videos of animal interactions that touched us.  Josie, the Buffalo Goat, immediately came to mind.  To me, she epitomizes the whole feeling of Earthfire.  Brought to the Sanctuary to provide nutritional milk to orphaned buffalo calves, a relationship blossomed that amazed and delighted me.  Often, after greeting me in the morning asking for morsels of food, she would be seen out in the field, leaning against her favorite adopted buffalo, Rosebud.  What a wonderful example of interspecies love and devotion.  Josie will remain in my heart always as greeter, mother and friend.    -Linda Miller
